How Resident Evil 6’s Skill System Works

Resident Evil 6 has a skill system and when the game begins you can equip one set of skills. Players can get up to eight skill sets as they play through the game. Chris Redfield and the other characters can switch skill sets in the middle of a level, but zombies and J’avo won’t stand still while you decide which skills you want.

You can purchase more skills using skill points. Once you buy a skill it’s unlocked for everyone, so Jake and Leon can use "zombie killer" even if they’re on the other side of the world. Some of the skills shown in the screenshots are: Fire Arm, Defense, Critical Rate, Concentrate, Steady Aim, Penetration, J’avo Killer, Battle Attack, Hand Gun Master, and Magnum Master. Most of these skills can be leveled up.

Resident Evil 6 supports split-screen co-op. It’s kind of like Lost Planet 2 style with tiny windows for both players.
